About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Ooh that's lovely. Did you make it? I'm very impressed.
Cally, thank you. Yes I did. I drew the picture, then made a terrible hash of drawing the lines of wax, so Bung Heam, the husband at the home stay, did that bit for me, and then I painted it myself.
Thats brilliant jj. I love the colours. I'm very impressed too. Making a batik and everything. Did you make it during your trip?
That's gorgeous JJ. I love the smiley fish :-)

That is lovely. Very professional!

It seems as if you have had a really interesting eco trip. Will it be possible to read the articles you write about the trip as I think it will be very illuminating about the concept. I have done painting on silk so know how hard it is to do Batik well done and what a lovely memento of your trip.
They are beautiful jj and I love the way one is smiling and the other is a grumpy fish. The colours are so vibrant!
Oh, JJ, that's wonderful. No one's going to laugh at that. You are clever.
I did some batik at school! It was lots of fun!
Although the batik I did wasn't as gorgeous as your's.
Thanks Pacha. Yes, I did it on the trip. It was rather intimidating because various villager turned up to watch the 'foreigner' make a batik, so I had an audience of up to six while I was doing it. No pressure, or anything!
Carol, thanks. One smiley, one sad. I think the sad fish has tail envy...
Thanks Cathy.
Sheepish, thank you. I hope you'll be able to read some of them. I will let you know if and when they appear.
Thanks Lane.
Leigh, thank you. I'm always a bit self conscious of my drawing. It looks like a child's done it.
A Writer, thank you. and I bet it was lovely.

That is fantastic JJ! Love it!
